What you should not share online

​The social Web encourages sharing but sometimes we share too much. This post gives you an idea of what to look out for and, perhaps, what not to share.

I received an email from Nadya, a Canadian student, who is researching how people express themselves online and she posed a few questions which I answered in a recording. This is related to my previous post titled “What you can legally say on Twitter” which I published in the aftermath of the Oscar Pistorius tweetstorm. I go a little further than defamation and also talk a little about privacy concerns and content sharing. The important thing to bear in mind is that just because you are using the social Web to express yourself, it doesn’t mean that what you say and share won’t have very real consequences for you and people close to you.
